Performance Modeling of Differential Fair Buffer Allocation
Overview The Guaranteed Frame Rate (GFR) service is viewed as the most promising ATM service for carrying aggregate TCP/IP traffic over large distances. The work discussed in this paper develops an analytical model to assess the performance of TCP over the Differential Fair Buffer Allocation implementation suggested by the ATM Forum. The paper considers the problem of a single GFR VC fed by multiple TCP Reno sources. The proposed model distinguishes itself from prior work in two ways: it captures the behavior of aggregate TCP traffic and it explicitly allows for queue analysis. From a modeling point of view, the study shows that the reactive behavior of TCP in congestion avoidance can be approximated by a two-node Markov chain.
